Hikvision provides complete control for the security of La Finca

The business group La Finca sought complete control through video surveillance of all premises, from the perimeter to the interior, covering all access areas. The software cameras from Hikvision have provided them with the technology and infrastructure they needed.

For the group La Finca, the security and privacy of their clients are critical within their value proposition. This is why the need arose to create protected spaces through technology.

This business group focused on the Real Estate sector, is dedicated to three main areas of activity: residential, focused on the construction and promotion of urban developments and premium homes in the northwest area of Madrid; el desarrollo de parques empresariales destinados a albergar oficinas corporativas; y en la puesta en marcha de otros negocios vinculados al mundo del ocio, entre los que destacan el campo de golf La Finca y el hub gastronómico La Finca Grand Café. Ambos están situados en la localidad madrileña de Pozuelo.

El sector de Real Estate es fundamental en la economía española, y desde hace diez años, y con pequeñas fluctuaciones aporta, aproximadamente el 11% del Producto Interior Bruto de España.

El caso del Grupo La Finca es particular, porque no se dedica a un solo ámbito dentro del sector inmobiliario, sino que desarrolla su actividad en el área residencial, en la de los parques empresariales y en el de los proyectos de ocio. En cualquier caso, Differentiation is becoming one of the fundamental elements when it comes to attracting clients.

For Grupo La Finca, which has stated that the security and privacy of its clients are critical within its value proposition, the need arose to create protected spaces through technology.

What was sought was complete control through video surveillance of all the premises, from the perimeter to the interior, covering all access areas.

In the case of residences, all intercom systems with built-in video were also involved (videoporteros), which allow the identification of the person wishing to access a premises or property.

For the implementation of these solutions, It was necessary to design an installation plan to ensure surveillance coverage of all areas, avoiding blind spots; cameras with the appropriate technology to provide the best image quality in any circumstance (sharpness, zoom capability, visibility in low-light conditions…); and a management system to operate the entire system, in a simple yet effective way, from the control rooms.

Integrated security ecosystems

The main challenge was working on perfectly integrated security ecosystems that offered full flexibility to expand the system or combine it with other technologies. That required the teams and management tools to be versatile and adaptable to different environments, that is to say, It was necessary for the different subsystems to be convergent.

One of the demands of the La Finca group has always been to be able to incorporate new emerging technologies, to constantly update the security proposal and always be up to date. That renewal effort must be based on a system architecture prepared to grow in a natural and organized way.

'The challenge of system integration allows technological innovations to be incorporated very smoothly in areas such as access control, early incident detection or the incorporation of artificial intelligence', They comment from La Finca.

Hikvision began installing security equipment in La Finca in 2013, with the aim of modernizing all security systems, and since then there has been a continuous improvement of the devices as innovations and technological developments have appeared on the market, and as new needs arose from La Finca.

Cameras have been installed that offer the best performance to ensure a perfect video surveillance service. The CCTV equipment performs video surveillance functions and allows visual control of what happens inside and around the building, as well as in the parking area.

The system has cameras of three different models, that send the images to a recorder. Está compuesto por cámaras convencionales de grabación exterior DS-2DE7A425IW-AEB(T5), tres modelos domo PTZ (DS-2DE4225IW-DE(S5), DS-2DE5225W-AE(T5) y DS-2DE7430IW-AE), dos deep-in-view (iDS-2CD7AC5G0-IZHS y iDS-2CD7186G0-IZS) y una Body cams.
